Can isolated binaries form unequal-mass binary black-hole mergers with a high-spin primary black hole?
Xiao-Tian Xu, Dong Lai, Bin Liu
GWTC-5 has revealed a subpopulation of merging binary black holes (BBHs) with a high-spin primary black hole (BH) and possibly unequal BH masses. GW241110 additionally exhibits a l…
Impact of Resonant Compton Scattering on Magnetar X-Ray Polarization with QED Vacuum Resonance
Tu Guo, Dong Lai
Recent obeservations have revealed significant soft X-ray polarizations from several quiescent magnetars, including the intriguing polarization angle (PA) swing as a functio…
Planetary Desert around Compact Binaries: Dynamical Instability Triggered by Resonance-Induced Eccentricity Excitation
Bin Liu, Dong Lai
Compact binaries with orbital periods shorter than about 7 days show an absence of transiting planets, a feature known as the ``circumbinary planet desert". The physical mechanism…
Limiting Eccentricity in Restricted Hierarchical Three-Body Systems with Short-Range Forces
Xiumin Huang, Dong Lai, Bin Liu
A hierarchical three-body model can be widely applied to diverse astrophysical settings, from satellite-planet-star systems to binaries around supermassive black holes. The octupol…
Free-floating Planets Produced by Planet-Planet Scatterings: Ejection Velocity and Survival Rate of Their Moons
Xiumin Huang, Dong Lai
The discovery of numerous free-floating planets (FFPs) has intensified interest in their origins and dynamical histories. A leading formation mechanism is planet-planet scatterings…
